> [@Wheelz](#): > > Whenever I hit two vowels in my opening word, I tend to neglect checking for a third. It cost me today; this probably should have been a three. There have been more than 2 vowels in only about 1/6 of the solutions so far. (Counting Y as a vowel, which it almost always is in this game.) For me, that’s enough reason to stop looking for vowels after I have 2 of them, but different players’ MMV on this. ---
